VIDIR shelving carousels are a modern automated storage solution designed to optimize space and productivity. Thanks to a vertical rotation mechanism, the shelves move automatically to bring products directly to the ideal working height, ensuring quick and safe access. By using the building’s height rather than floor space, this system can free up to 80% of space and significantly increase storage capacity. VIDIR shelving carousels help reduce inventory errors and improve staff safety while simplifying stock management. Their user-friendly interface and compatibility with ERP and WMS systems make integration into existing operations easy, enabling a smoother and more efficient workflow.
Why choose a shelving carousel?
Choosing a VIDIR shelving carousel means investing in a modern and efficient approach to industrial storage. This smart system transforms the way products are stored and accessed by optimizing space usage and improving workflow organization. Combining performance, reliability, and ease of use, it provides a long-lasting solution for companies looking to enhance their warehousing processes while boosting efficiency and safety.
Maximize vertical space usage
The VIDIR shelving carousel fully utilizes available height for storage, allowing you to reclaim up to 80% of floor space. By turning overhead space into an efficient storage area, it frees up valuable floor space while increasing overall inventory capacity. This smart approach is ideal for environments where every square meter counts.
Capacity and design tailored to your needs
Thanks to its modular carrier design, the shelving carousel easily adapts to different types of materials, even bulky or unusually shaped items. The carriers can be configured to the required depth, height, and width, offering exceptional flexibility. Depending on the model selected, VIDIR shelving carousels can provide a lifting capacity of up to 34,000 lb (15,422 kg), meeting the highest demands for load capacity and durability.
Increase inventory capacity
By using vertical space that is typically unused with static shelving systems, the VIDIR shelving carousel significantly increases available storage capacity. Its smart design also allows you to store larger or heavier items than those handled by standard vertical carousels, improving inventory density and overall stock organization.
Greater efficiency and improved accuracy
VIDIR automated vertical carousels support faster and more reliable order fulfillment. Their automated system significantly reduces retrieval times while improving picking accuracy. Integration with order processing software or ERP/WMS systems ensures accurate inventory tracking, simplified pick list preparation, and optimized productivity.
Safety and ergonomics at the heart of the design
Built around the “product-to-operator” principle, VIDIR shelving carousels bring items directly to an ergonomic working height, eliminating unnecessary and risky movement. This design reduces manual handling hazards such as repetitive bending, using ladders or lift platforms, and helps improve employee health and safety.
What are the differences between a shelf carousel and a tray carousel?
Shelving Carousel
Pan Carousel
| General description | This system consists of modular shelves designed to store large, irregularly shaped, or heavier items. Instead of solid trays, it features an open structure with adjustable carriers that can be configured in height, width, and depth. | This system is made up of flat trays stacked vertically on top of one another. The trays rotate in a closed loop (like a large chain) to automatically bring the requested tray to an ergonomic working height. |
| Best suited for | Large, bulky, or variable-size items (e.g., motors, industrial parts, long materials, crates). | Small to medium items that are uniform and easy to place on a flat surface (e.g., parts, boxes, electronic components, tools). |
| Load capacity | Higher load capacity (up to 34,000 lb for VIDIR models). | Typically, lower load capacity per tray, but with a high number of trays to maximize storage density. |
| In summary | The shelving carousel prioritizes versatility and high capacity for large or irregular items. | The pan carousel prioritizes density and speed for smaller items. |
